At the Antarctic station " Three chicks grow in it at once.

So many babies are a rather rare phenomenon for subantarctic penguins. Usually they lay two eggs. Sometimes there may be three, but the chance of survival of all babies is very low, they write on the Facebook page of the National Antarctic Scientific Center.

The main reason is not of survival is the difficulty to feed three babies at the same time. However, these penguins in the photo are lucky.

Their parents managed to cope with a complex mission-the chicks are already quite adults, they are about three weeks.

The biologist of the 29th Ukrainian Antarctic expedition noted that such a family is the only one on the island of Galindez, although there are about two thousand penguins there, and adult penguins are about 4 thousand.

The task of biologists is to observe antarctic birds in the context of climate change, because their migration is one of the largest rates of warming in Antarctic.
